Playwriting students will work collaboratively with actors, designers and directors to bring their ten-minute and short one-act plays to the stage. Drafts of short plays, written and developed in Playwriting I and II will be read, workshopped, and developed, in a process modeled on professional play development, with professional directors from the Chicago community, advanced student directors, and advanced student actors. Students will experience how collaboration directly informs the writing and rewriting process. The semester will culminate in staged readings of the rewritten short plays presented in one of the Studio Theatres during Performance Week.
